Windows Gather Deleted Files Enumeration and Recovering
Description
This module lists and attempts to recover deleted files from NTFS file systems. Use the FILES option to guide recovery. Leave this option empty to enumerate deleted files in the DRIVE. Set FILES to an extension (e.g., "pdf") to recover deleted files with that extension, or set FILES to a comma separated list of IDs (from enumeration) to recover those files. The user must have account file enumeration. Recovery may take a long time; use the TIMEOUT option to abort enumeration or recovery by extension after a specified period (in seconds).

Module Options
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
